    This was my first time watching one of your videos, and I am every impressed at the way you went about this project! Seriously, you checked all the boxes! Your knowledge of the design process, machine setup, the way you presented the content along with narration, editing the video to highlight what we needed to see, while also removing the repetitive portions as to be conscious & respectful of our time! Without a doubt, you are a huge value to UA-cam, as well as both a qualified craftsman and quality gentleman! Already subscribed as a reminder for myself to check out any & all other videos you produce. Not sure how I found my way here after so much previous time spent on UA-cam, but I'm thrilled that it finally happened! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! Best wishes for a healthy, prosperous, exciting and Happy New Year! (gw) 👍

    • @SwitchAndLever
      @SwitchAndLever  6 років тому

      +Buddah Kush using a better milling machine you can no doubt do the milling of the rim on the machine as well, but on this one it was asking a bit too much. I would sell them, but considering the time that goes into them for me to sell them for any reasonable price would mean basically not valuing that time at all, or charge far too much money for anyone willing to pay.

      It's not, this is how this coin is made (well, it's actually a medal). Actual coins are struck between dies imparting the shape of the die on the coin. But, that's beyond the average home machinist to do.

      +dontonipz I kind of just learned by doing, and by having experience with depth maps from 3d modeling, and drawing on the computer. I unfortunately don't have any tips, beyond that you should apply your depth map in your 3d software so you can actually see how it looks like as you're working on it, and where you need to alter to make it look the way you want, switching back and forth between 2d and 3d.

    • @SwitchAndLever
      @SwitchAndLever  2 роки тому +1

      Casting metal and having it flow out in this fine of a detail without something like a roto casting machine (which forces the metal out with centrifugal force), and keeping the cast metal hot enough as it flows out so it doesn't solidify half way, is such a hugely complex endeavor it's not worth it. It's mainly only done with silver and gold, because those metals melt at lower temperatures, and generally you cast pretty small stuff with it.
